Vava Ribeiro - Work #4: Wave graffiti covered with plastic Haleiwa, Oahu - Poster

Vava Ribeiro (1977) is a Brazilian photographer whose work moves between documentary and poetic visual storytelling. Rooted in decades spent travelling with surf culture, his images capture the emotional texture of coastlines, communities and the quiet in-between moments that define life around the ocean. Blending instinct, movement and natural light, Ribeiro creates photographs that feel both intimate and expansive. His acclaimed monograph North Shore reflects his ongoing interest in the human, mythic and environmental layers of the surf world.
